Country superstar George Strait coming to Central Valley

In what he’s billing as his final concert tour, country icon George Strait will make a stop on Feb. 1, 2013 at the Save Mart Center on the campus of Fresno State. Tickets for the concert — priced at $92.50 and $72.50 — go on sale 10 a.m. Oct. 12. (This farewell tour is lasting two years, according to a press release, which is one heck of a long goodbye, don’t you think?)

Strait has landed 59 No. 1 songs, has earned more than 60 major industry awards, and sold more than 65 million albums during his 30-year plus career. He is the only artist in music history to achieve at least one Top 10 hit each year during his 30-year career
